Oh, that's not good :( What happens if you try increasing the ibs and obs sizes to the length of the message? I don't know if this might work: Change dd ibs=1 obs=16384 skip=$2 count=$3 if="$1" 2>/dev/null To dd ibs=$(( $3 - $2 )) obs=$(( $3 - $2 )) skip=$2 count=$3 if="$1" 2>/dev/null > Now I am considering using v2, but this one requires python 2.3 > according to the info in the deb from experimental. Can I run this one > on woody with python 2.1? The main problem is not with the Python version, it is with the python-twisted version. Twisted wasn't really stable until around version 0.99, and Woody only has 0.15 AFAIK. I don't think apt-proxy has been tested with Python 2.1, and I don't know if there are any changes between 2.1 and 2.3 that would cause problems. You'd just have to try it and see what happens.
